Why can’t we just chill? In this episode, Rita and Nicki go head-to-head on what it’s like to live (and survive) as best friends with totally different brains—one obsessed with spreadsheets, the other allergic to organisation. From wedding planning chaos and forgotten to-do lists, to the stress spiral of trying to do it all, nothing’s off limits.

We’re talking: the perfectionist trap, why boundaries are so bloody hard, and how your brain can make even the simplest task feel impossible.

Expect plenty of side-eye, friendly digs, and the kind of brutally honest chat you only get when you’ve known someone for decades. If you’ve ever felt guilty for not “having it all together,” this one’s for you.

Listen in as we unpack why relaxing is basically a myth—and why, no matter how different you are, true friendship survives even the messiest spreadsheets.

Welcome back to They All Need Therapy—the podcast where we get real about the messy, hilarious, and sometimes downright confusing parts of life. This week, we’re diving into what it really means to be “the man of the house” in a world where modern roles are getting flipped on their head.

And we’re making history—because for the first time ever, there’s a bloke on our therapy couch. Not just any bloke, either: Matt D’Angelo—actor, twin dad, and a man who’s survived the drama of Albert Square, outsmarted the best in BBC’s Hustle, unravelled secrets in Ordinary Lies, dazzled on the Strictly dance floor, and even made it through a lads’ trip to Marbella last week.

In this episode, Matt gets candid about growing up in the spotlight, managing anxiety and self-doubt, and why everyone (even your plumber) thinks they know your job better than you do. We get into the highs and lows of fame, what it’s really like balancing family and career, and why being vulnerable might just be the bravest thing you can do.

So grab a cuppa, get comfy, and join us for a raw, witty, and laugh-out-loud chat about mental health, masculinity, and why—at the end of the day—we’re all just winging it. Let’s get into it.

WARNING: THIS EPISODE CONTAINS FRUITY LANGUAGE (we love it but you might not)

This week, the Queen of Chaos, Jade Colluci, joins us for a proper chat.

From the infamous day Roxy Mitchell knocked her flat on the Square, to her unfiltered takes on perimenopause, the joys of social media fakery, and the ongoing saga of trying to get HRT (with the occasional “wrong place” mishap thrown in). All served with Jade’s trademark honesty and humour.

🎙 Welcome to Episode 2 of They All Need Therapy! 🎙

In this hilariously raw and deeply personal episode, we’re sharing our real-life hysterectomy journeys—no filters, no sugar coating, just the honest truth. From the chaos of packing for the hospital to the unexpected hilarity of post-op recovery, we’re laying it all out there.

✨ Ever heard of bunting being pulled out of your body? Yep, that’s exactly what Rita thought was happening during her post-op recovery. Spoiler: it wasn’t festive, but it was unforgettable!

✨ And wait until you hear about Nicki’s hormone-fuelled DIY haircut with her husband’s beard scissors. Let’s just say, layers weren’t her strong suit.

This isn’t just about the laughs, though. We’re addressing the fears, challenges, and realities of this procedure. Whether you’re considering a hysterectomy, supporting someone who is, or having the procedure for non-negotiable medical reasons, this episode is packed with relatable moments, practical tips, and plenty of humour to lighten what can be a heavy topic.
